One system, three screens

The wall is only the beginning.

Everything runs in the browser - nothing to install.

For the congregation

The wall. Easy to read from the very last row.

Projector, TV or LED wall - any screen with a browser becomes a translation wall. Finished sentences appear calmly one after another, at a pace everyone can read along with.

For your team

The operator. One person, one button.

Allow the microphone, start the khutbah - that’s all. The operator app runs on any laptop or phone, with nothing to install.

To read later

Phone & archive. For everyone who wasn’t there.

After the khutbah, the summary is in the mosque’s archive - one link the whole congregation can share. Light or dark, in the font size each person needs.

Built with care

Any machine can translate. Miskio knows your khutbah.

Qur’an recognition

Verses aren’t machine-translated - they’re recognised.

When the imam recites a verse, Miskio replaces the machine translation with the established German translation by Bubenheim - with the source shown on the wall.

Glossary

Your terms stay your terms.

The standard glossary for your sermon language applies from the first khutbah. From Pro you keep your own - names and terms the translation respects instead of turning them into German.

Code-switching

Switching languages? No problem.

A Turkish khutbah with Arabic recitation - Miskio follows the switch automatically.

Summary

The khutbah in five sentences.

At the push of a button, a summary is created after the khutbah - for the wall and for the archive.

Archive

To read again, to share.

From Pro, your mosque gets a public archive page with the summaries of its recent khutbahs.

How it works

A Friday with Miskio.

From unlocking the doors to reading it again: one person, one browser - and the Friday sermon reaches everyone.

Trust

Your audio belongs in your mosque.

Built in Germany, made for mosques. You don’t have to take our word for it - the path of the audio can be traced.

The audio flows from the microphone in the mosque to the EU server in Frankfurt and back to the wall as German text - never through Miskio’s servers.

Audio recordings at Miskio
none

Audio stays private

Straight from the microphone to the translation service in the EU - never through Miskio’s servers. Only the translated text is stored, no audio recording.

Questions

What boards ask us.

How accurate is the translation?
Very readable, but not perfect - it is a machine translation, and that is exactly how we label it on the wall. Qur’an verses are the exception: they are recognised and replaced with the established German translation by Bubenheim instead of being machine-translated.
What does our mosque need?
A screen or projector with a browser, a laptop or phone for the recording and stable Wi-Fi. You can keep using the microphone of your sound system. Nothing is installed. The full checklist: The khutbah on the projector.
Does it work with our existing sound system?
In most mosques: yes. Miskio only needs a microphone signal on the laptop or phone - from the built-in microphone or by cable from your mixing desk. During setup we test it together with your system and real sermon audio.
Where does the audio go - and what is stored?
The audio goes straight from the browser to the translation service in the EU - Miskio does not store audio recordings. Only the translated texts are stored, for your mosque’s archive and summaries. You can have both deleted at any time. The data path in detail: Data protection in live translation.
Which languages does Miskio understand?
Currently Turkish, Arabic and Albanian, translated into German. The khutbah (also spelt khutba or hutba - the Friday sermon) often switches language mid-sermon, for instance when the imam moves into Arabic for a surah. Miskio detects the switch automatically. The output can be German, English or Arabic - all languages at a glance.
Does anyone in the congregation have to operate anything?
Only one person starts and stops the translation - usually whoever also looks after the projector and the microphone. The congregation itself needs nothing: no account, no app.
Do we or the congregation need an app?
No. The mosque runs Miskio in the browser, the wall is a web page, and the congregation opens the phone view (from Pro) with a QR code in the browser - no app, no account. Why that makes a difference: An app or a solution for the mosque.
Does this change anything about the sermon?
No. The khutbah stays in the imam’s language, the translation runs alongside it as an aid to understanding. What else a congregation should think about is in the guide Translating the khutbah live.
What does it cost?
Basis puts the live translation on the wall for €29 a month. Pro, for €49, also puts it on the congregation’s phones, with summary and archive. Max, for €79, covers a programme beyond Friday. You can try it free for four weeks first. All three plans, with every feature, are on the pricing page - monthly or yearly, cancel at any time, no equipment costs.
How is Miskio different from other providers?
In three things: Turkish, Arabic and Albanian as the spoken language, the wall as the first screen instead of an app, and processing in the EU region with a data processing agreement. What others do better is there as well: Miskio compared (in German) puts five services next to Miskio line by line, dated and sourced.
Is there a beta programme?
Yes. Miskio is in beta, and we are taking on 10 mosques that try it free for four weeks on the Max plan - with setup on a video call and a direct line to the team. Requests go by email to team@miskio.de. All conditions and the process: Beta programme.
How can we try Miskio?
Write to us on WhatsApp or at team@miskio.de. We set up trial access for you and go through the first Friday together with you - free of charge and without obligation. Right now this runs through our beta programme: Max plan free for four weeks, 10 places.
In brief

What is Miskio?

Miskio is a translation service for mosques in Germany. It translates the khutbah - the Friday sermon - live from Turkish, Arabic or Albanian into German and shows it as text on the mosque’s screen or projector. The congregation simply reads along, with no app and no sign-up.

How does the live translation of the khutbah work?

Someone from the mosque opens the operator app in the browser and starts the recording. Miskio recognises the spoken language, translates each sentence in real time on servers in the EU and shows it on the wall in under a second - at a pace everyone can read along with.

Which languages does Miskio work with?

Miskio translates from Turkish, Arabic and Albanian. The mosque chooses the output language before each khutbah: German, English or Arabic. If the imam switches language in the middle of the sermon, the translation follows automatically. With German output, recognised Qur’an verses appear in the established Bubenheim translation instead of machine text.

What does Miskio cost?

Three plans: Basis, for €29 a month, puts the live translation on the wall; Pro, for €49, also puts it on the congregation’s phones; Max, for €79, covers Eid and talks as well. New mosques try it free for four weeks. Cancel monthly, pay by card or SEPA direct debit, operated in the EU in line with the GDPR. All prices are on the Miskio pricing page.
